A blind man in my house was not something I looked forward to” (100).
Therefore, I believe Manon hates her husband. This gives the impression to the reader that Manon is always negative and is harsh towards her husband, making people believe she is not loving towards him.

Also, at the beginning of the games, Manon has a sympathetic tone towards the slaves and feels sorry for them because she says, “I couldn’t watch anymore.” This suggests that Manon feels ashamed of what she is letting her husband do to the slaves and that she feels sadness building up inside of her towards the slaves being treated horrifically. The dynamic verb of “watch” shows to the reader that Manon feels a little bit of pain towards the slaves and that she feels that they are only being used for torture.

The poem creates a fond memory of Betjeman’s father as it recalls many of his inconsequential actions and behavior. Betjeman does not use any euphemisms when talking about death to show that he has accepted it.
He concludes this by stating how the night guards would pass by and he would act asleep but would then get back up to finish reading as they approached an hour later. He says how teaching himself to read and write was a feeling of freedom meaning his mind was free but not his body and that’s all that mattered because now he can understand what is going on around him. This passage was one that would inspire those around him and believing if you set your eyes on your goal and accomplish it, then you can be just as happy as when you are handed things. He thought people were only happy when they were handed things directly or taught. For example, when people go to school they are taught information but since he didn’t have that advantage and taught himself she still accomplished that goal of being an educated African
From here, the couple proceeded to get into quite the argument, showing that their communication habits are, indeed, unhealthy because the husband continued to talk, even though he knew it would lead to a disagreement. This poor communication can transition into tension between partners. The two people in “A Song on Royal Street” by Richard Blessing also struggled with ineffective communication: “’Remember?’ ‘No’” (30). Here, the man is telling the woman about an event that happened on Royal Street many
Sometimes when forgiving it is important to figure out what will make ones self feel better and make it possible to move on. It’s a personal decision, it does not matter what others think. Sanyika took a long time to realize what would make him happy but once he realized what he wanted he learned to forgive and forget and just move on. This just goes to show one can forgive, it might take time and show its challenges but it is one of the few things one can do to reach a point in their life where they feel at peace and full-

This could also include a commitment to the job itself rather than having the position of manager just for the money, as a manager I find myself staying back and completing additional tasks, not for the benefit of myself but for the stores outcome in the long run. Also a good role model should show a positive attitude towards their role and tasks, portraying this kind of attitude makes for a more friendly and optimistic environment. It also allows for better and easier communication with employees as they will feel less threatened to approach you with issues or queries. I find it easier to remain positive but stay professional while I am doing it so employees don't misinterpret my attitude as apathetic. Ideally a good role model should have the correct attitude about work and continue to develop their skills so they can lead others to do the same.
